THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on October 6, 2011. A project to collect, store and study DNA samples from tens of thousands of healthy volunteers and patients with diseases of major public importance. It aims to identify genes that are risk factors for the conditions. The network consists of 13 collections led by different clinicians throughout the UK. At its heart is an archive infrastructure which manages the DNA and the information associated with it. The European Collection of Cell Cultures in Porton Down handles the blood, peripheral blood lymphocytes and EBV-transformed cell lines, while the Centre for Integrated Genomic Medical Research at Manchester University manages the DNA. These banked samples are available to UK and international researchers, who can examine data and set up collaborative work by registering at the DNA Network's website. The conditions for which samples are currently collected and stored are: Acute leukemia, Asthma and eczema, Late onset Alzheimer's disease, Breast cancer, Colorectal cancer, Coronary artery disease, Glomerulonephritis, Hypertension, Age-related macular degeneration, Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Type 2 diabetes, Unipolar depression.

http://www.adcs.org/

An initiative for Alzheimer's disease clinical studies that works to facilitate the discovery, development and testing of new drugs, and is a part of the Alzheimer's Disease Prevention Initiative. This resource has an emphasis on expanding the range of its patients, mainly by enhancing the recruitment of minority groups. There is a further emphasis placed on testing agents that cannot be patented, as well as developing novel compounds that had been developed by individuals, academic institutions and drug discovery units. This resource also helps in the development of Alzheimer's disease centers to carry out studies, as well as establish administrative, data, operations and medical cores in San Diego. This organization is specifically involved in studies demonstrating the lack of benefit associated, previously used treatments such as: the use of estrogen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, B vitamins and a statin drug. The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study also develops assessment instruments to be used in clinical trials. The most frequently used of these tools include: the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive sub-scale (ADAS-cog), Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and the Clinical Global Impression of Change Scale (CGIC). There is also an associated tissue bank at UCSD that includes materials from the clinical trials including: human tissue, blood, plasma, DNA, urine and cerebrospinal fluid.
